How to use iTunes gift card in App Store

My kids each just got an iPod touch with a gift card to iTunes ......how can they each purchase apps and things from iTunes while using my apple account? We redeemed the gift cards but I don't think it's set up right because the app price wasn't deducted from the credit total. I think my credit card will be charged instead of the iTunes gift card....

A gift card balance is supposed to be used before the CC is charged. All you can do is contact iTunes by:

    I'm sorry, but there is nothing that I can do to help you with this situation. I don't know why, but many people have problems when they try to buy gems in the Clash of Clans game. Personally, I wouldn't touch the game with a ten foot pole, but that's just my opinion.

    How can I use a gift card on App Store?

    If it's an iTunes gift card, as opposed to an Apple Store gift card (which can only be used in Apple stores and the Apple online store), then you can redeem it onto your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1574
    And as long as you are buying content for yourself (you can't use an account's balance for gifting content) then your balance should be automatically used for your purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

  • How to use itunes gift card to buy gems on Clash of Clans (in-app purchase)?

    I recently redeemed an $10 itunes gift card. The credit shows up next to my apple ID, but when I try to purchase gems on Clash of Clans I get an error that says "Insufficient Remaining Store Credit- Tap Continue to sign in". When I sign in it wants me to enter my CC#, I do not want to use my card. Is there something I need to do to get it to work? Any help is appreciated.

  • HT5057 iTunes account attached to debit card. How to use iTunes gift cards without charging debit card?

    Hey everyone! I have an iTunes account and attached to that account I have a debit card. I recently got some iTunes gift cards and would like to use them as the main source to fund purchases until they run out and then go back to using my debit card. How do I do this? Do I have to delete my debit card info and add the gift card info or is there a way to keep the debit card info listed but use the gift cards first?
    Thanks so much for all your help. Not sure how to retrieve any disscussions but I'll figure it out somehow.

    You can redeem iTunes gift cards by clicking "Redeem" under Quick Links at the top right of the iTunes store.
    Gift card credit is automatically used before your debit card, so there is no need to remove it. After your credit is used your debit card will be charged again.

  • How to use iTunes gift card on family Share plan

    My teen age son is on our Family Share Plan and he has an iTunes gift card he wants to use to download songs.  I can't figure out a way to set this up unless I remove him from the plan and then add him back in after he has made the purchase.  Any better way to do this?

    Yes, if there is credit in the iTunes account it should use that in preference to any credit cad details held (at least it always does for me).

  • Question about iTunes Gift cards and App store.

    Well, I need to get some apps for my dad's iPhone 3GS, and the problem is, that I don't have a credit card or paypal account. I can buy an iTunes gift card to get those apps but, my doubt is, with those gift cards, can I buy apps for the iPhone despite the fact that my Apple ID account is from Mexico, and not from the US?

    You cannot buy anything from the U.S. itunes store unless you are in the U.S. and have a valid address in the U.S. and credit card tied to that address.

  • Itunes gift cards, and app store?

    I just recently added a $25 iTunes gift car to my account, then rented a movie for $4.99. Now I'm trying to buy os x mountain lion from the Appstore on my computer for $19.99. It keeps telling me insufficient remaining store credits. How can i fix this? or why is it telling me this?

    If you are in the US store, you are not allowing for the local sales tax that is added to the sale in the final steps.

  • Transfer iTunes gift card to app store.

    Can this be done? I don't want any music. I also thought these were unified servicces???
    Thanks

    I got it to work from his account on my phone...i.e. I signed in to the app store as him on my phone. I got it to work, but it was a bit convoluted. I still got the same request for the verification code. I put in the code and then it asked if I still wanted to buy the game. I said no. I went back and tried to buy it again and (I can't remember if it asked for my son's password or not) and it worked. I saw the deduction in the balance too for verification.
    I did later find an article with this at the very bottom. Maybe that was it all the time???
